Do you have an awesome collection of Macross kits waiting to be built? How about a nice display of valkyries you personally built, or purchased completed? Is there a closet or long forgotten box full of dusty model kits waiting to see the light of day?

Are you tired of those toy fanboys having all the fun showing off pictures of their Arcadia and Yamato valkryies? Well, get out your cameras/phones, dust off those boxes and display cabinets and let's show everyone what you've got! (Don't be shy if you only have a few, this isn't a competition.)

Some guidelines to follow please:

Macross model kits only if feasible

Best quality pictures you can take

Group shots of kits and/or valkyries whenever possible

PS:

I'll be using your pictures to update my 1/72 list, and for my pending 1/100 list as well. My long term goal is a complete Macross model compedium showing the box art, inserts, parts and pictures of them completed. Hopefully the one here on MW can be updated and expanded.

I know it might not be easy to get some of your kits out, but it's for a good cause and will be greatly appreciated.

If you find out you have too many kits you will never build, you have duplicates, you need extra money, you want to be altruistic, or you're interested in a trade, please contact me directly via messenger and let me know what you have.

Beautiful scheme on a beautiful bird! really nice and naturally made flight pics as well! I thk it works better for kits than toys to appear in sky backgrounds cos of the matt v glossy plastic factor..

I bought this guy a couple months ago and it only just now showed up (lesson learned: never ship by boat again). In the meantime I'd forgotten what I wanted it for, so I snapped it together and quickly reminded myself of the many MANY reasons I despise the Bandai VF-25 kit. Not pictured: 1) the stupid over-engineering resulting in 2) everything misaligned with everything else and 3) the very precise position I had to put the legs in in order to get everything to finally line up (no thanks very much, instruction manual!).

Kitbash with the Hasegawa kit? Fixed Battroid mode kit? What to do, what to do...

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, I will make some specific comments shortly.

If you see any duplicates on my list that you are missing, and you have something I'm lacking, please feel to contact me. It will help me to complete the Macross model compendium that will benefit everyone who appreciates Macross kits.

Tekering:

Nice looking Imai kits, I don't own those yet but I hope to one day. Yes, my Retppu 1/72 VF-11 are the super fighter mode versions. I updated my list to be more clear, but I have been looking for a super battroid version like yours.

Yes, speaking for myself I'm excited to see any/all built, unbuilt or partially built Macross kits you have. Please post more, and this thread is for resin, plastic, licensed and unlicensed.

Just got this in the mail. It's not all Macross, but in the bottom right is a nice ol' 1/72 YF-29 resin kit (recast from a very limited-production conversion kit for the Bandai VF-25).

The resin quality is quite stellar for being a recast. I wish I could remember who the original sculptor was; I know E2046 makes and sells recasts of the original kit, but I got mine from shop2000, which includes the necessary VF-25 parts as resin recasts as well, making their version a complete kit.
